About Thomastik Dominant Violin Strings

Thomastik Dominant violin strings are synthetic core strings, which is made of nylon material called Perlon. It produces a warm and gut-like tone which is preferred by violinists worldwide.

A small downside of the Thomastik Dominant violin strings is that the response will be slower. When you first fix the new Dominant strings, they may sound edgy and metallic, but they will disappear after a few days of playing. Thereafter, you will love the thick and wholesome tone produced by the strings, especially the lower ones.

For the E string of the Dominant set, most violinist prefer to exchange it with the Pirastro Gold Label E. The Dominant E does not sound as good as the other Dominants. Pirastro Gold Label E, which has a slightly warmer tone would fit into the whole set of Thomastik-Infeld Dominants.
